GOLF SCRAMBLE RULES
FORMAT: Nine-hole, two-person scramble tournament.
RULES: USGA golf rules will govern play. In a scramble format, both team members tee off on each
hole and then decide which tee shot they like best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker. The other
player picks up his/her ball and places it within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot.
Both players hit their shot from the chosen spot. This procedure is followed on every shot for the
remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should be marked on the putting green also. Putts need to
be made within 6 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is
counted for the team score. If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), or in the
rough, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length
away. Men will always tee off from the blue tees. Women may tee off from the red tees. Each team
member must use at least three tee shots during the nine holes. A mark on the scorecard to indicate
whose tee shot was used on each hole is required—you will forfeit any team awards if you do not do
so. All rules of etiquette and fair play should be followed during the tournament.
AWARDS: There will be overall team awards given to the top three teams. Individual awards will also
be given for closest to the pin, longest putt made, and longest drive.
INDIVIDUAL COMPETITIONS:
Hole #2 - Longest Putt Made: This competition has one division. If your putt is the longest made, write
your name on the marker card and place the marker in the ground on the spot from where you putted the
ball. Once the marker has been placed in the ground, it should stay there until someone else makes a
longer putt. Then, that person should repeat the procedure of writing their name on the card below the
other name(s) and place the marker at the spot. Use the flag as a measuring rod if it is a close call.
Hole #4 & Hole #7 - Closest to the Pin: This competition has one division. If your tee shot is closest to
the hole, write your name on the marker card and place the marker in the ground on the spot where your
ball came to rest. Once the marker has been placed in the ground, it should stay there until someone else
hits a closer shot. Then, that person should repeat the procedure of writing their name on the card below
the other name(s) and place the marker at the spot. Use the flagstick as a measuring rod if it is a close
call.
Hole #5 - Longest Drive: This competition has one division. Women must tee from the blue tees to be
eligible. If your drive is the longest, write your name on the marker card and place the marker in the
ground on the spot where your ball came to rest. The ball must be in the cut fairway to count. Once the
marker has been placed in the ground, it should stay there until someone else hits a longer drive. Then,
that person should repeat the procedure of writing their name on the card below the other name(s) and
place the marker at the spot.
AWARDS PRESENTATION: Awards for the golf tournament can be picked up after Noon on
Wednesday, May 20 in the Intramural Office, located in 145 RB.
